FLAC instruments in sample project don't play

[Alex Peters]

$ dpkg -s lmms | grep Version:
Version: 1.0.0+stable-0ubuntu1

Included sample project /usr/share/lmms/projects/CoolSongs/Zakarra-59_Degrees.mmpz features several tracks that use FLAC-based samples.

On my system, these tracks are silent and when I open the settings for those instruments, the waveform for the sample shows up as multi-coloured noise (pic attached).

Edit: Flac works but some samples are missing among the demo projects and this needs to be fixed. Reported upstream.

Hi,
This may very well be the case that we are missing a FLAC dependency for Ubuntu... was this bug present in previous versions?
I commented on your other bug posting about a newer branch 1.0.3 which you could test to try to reproduce this bug.

Thanks!

[Alex Peters (alex-peters)]

I'm sorry, but I don't know whether this bug is present in earlier versions.

I can confirm that the problem persists with v1.0.3 from ppa:israeldahl/lmms1.0.3utopic.

[Alex Peters (alex-peters)]

For what it's worth, I already have packages flac, libflac++6 and libflac8 installed with no effect.

.flac works just fine. I just tried this file to make sure:

The particular project 'Zakarra-59_Degrees.mmpz' isn't however. It you try a later version of LMMS, say 1.1.3, it will provide you with a pop-up message saying that the samples in question are missing completely. It's not a good thing to have a project that is partly defect but we're going over the projects once in a while and this one is a good candidate for removal.
I'm editing the bug description accordingly.

Israel, I assign this to me and going to fix it upstream.

[Oskar Wallgren (oskar-wallgren13)]

Sorry about the odd updates. Apparently my mouse is borked... :P

[Israel Dahl (israeldahl)]

thanks!! I appreciate this Oskar!

[Oskar Wallgren (oskar-wallgren13)]

The mentioned projects was made with samples from a library other than the default one and this is now fixed upstream by simply removing the projects.
Fixed in upcoming LMMS-1.2.0 release.

If you need these particular samples they are here.
